Blu-Ray player Recommendation DIVX - Blu-ray Forum

Nikka488 · 03-22-2010, 09:38 PM

Hello!

my friend has asked me to help him find a Blu-Ray player that plays Divx preferably from a USB for under $200. Does anyone have any suggestions? Unfortunately it's not a specification that most sites offer as a choice to narrow down your options. Thank you very much in advance. You guys rock.

I personally own a PS3 and suggested that, but I think he's trying to get a Blu-Ray player for below $200. Thank you again!

This forums member "that1guypictures" is a Best Buy/Magnolia Home Theater Employee and he tested several Blu Ray players that are new. i purchased the BD-C5500 from samsung that is $179 retail but $161 on amazon.com.

Samsung 5500
Huge dust magnet. Same boot up time. Played with the app store, slick interface. Kind of like an iPhone app store. Wish it came pre-loaded with a few apps though. Each app has to be downloaded before you can use it, which becomes quite a chore. Someone decided to put ridges in the disc tray to keep the discs from sliding. It looks slick, but it scratches DVD's to hell.
Blu-rays will be fine though. USB port will play most video files I tossed at it.
Divx, AVI, Mp4, M4v, and even MKV! However, no m2ts support. And it has trouble viewing photos or Mp3 files when there are more than just a few contained in one folder. Disc loading times don't seem to be any improvement from last years models.
